2.3. Using the arpeggiator

An arpeggio is a chord of which you repeatedly play the individual notes. It's what you hear

when you hold a chord on a guitar and pluck the strings from top to bottom or the other

way around. A major part of learning to play the guitar is figuring out how to play different

fingerpicking/arpeggio styles. The arpeggiator on the KeyStep 37 does all these things for

you.

The arpeggiator will not run if the sync selection switches are set to something other than internal

and no external clock is present.

2.3.1. Seq / Arp toggle switch

To use the arpeggiator you must first set the Seq/Arp toggle switch to Arp. The Seq position

selects the sequencer, which is covered in

section 2.2 [p.20]

.

2.3.2. Seq / Arp Mode encoder

Use the Seq/Arp Mode encoder to select one of the eight arpeggiator Modes: Up, Down,

Inclusive, Exclusive, Random, Walk, Pattern, Order.

The Modes are described in more detail in

Chapter 5 [p.52]
